Looking for some well priced door sensors. I heard the Xfinity / Comcast ones on ebay do well and also do temperature.
Anyone have any experience with them or know if anything better priced?

If you have a Zigbee Coordinator, I’d recommend taking a look a Aqara.
I bought my two sensors two years ago now. Haven’t had to replace the batteries yet and no connection issues or anything. I use one of them to turn on the lights at my front door when I open it and it’s always done it’s job quickly. Z-wave so ofc you’ll need a dongle.

If you use Zigbee the Aqara and SONOFF contact sensors are both fairly good in my experience.
The Aqara ones are very small and neat, the SONOFF are a bit larger but cheaper.
I have some cheap ass Tuya Zigbee sensors from AliExpress. In my experience they are reliable, quite small, i sill haven’t changed the battery, and they are super cheap. Make sure you get the Zigbee ones, not the wifi version.
tuya means one relies on their API keys right? i just love the m5stack and feel safe about updates and apis for the next decades.
If it’s zigbee, that shouldn’t be a problem. The tuya headache is their wifi stuff.
